It means the health services are missing opportunities to address violence against women earlier!
Vital Strategies is aware of the fact that health systems can play a fundamental role in preventing and responding to gender-based violence. We partnered with FrameNet Brasil , a Natural Language Processing lab at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, to pioneer a project that combines AI and expertise in public health surveillance.
The project uses linguistic analysis methods to read and map patterns in the open-text fields of electronic medical records filled out in health units . This information, which adds a more subjective factor to the analysis by including observations made by health professionals at the time of care, are cross-checked with other databases: violence reporting, hospitalization, and death systems.
